BOOK REVIEW: Cotton Candy by Ted Kooser
Cotton Candy: Poems Dipped Out of the Air by Ted KooserMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amazon.in Page
Release date: September 1, 2022
The new collection by Ted Kooser is vibrant and playful. While imagery is front and center in these poems, it’s not the imagery of still life, but rather conveys the constant motion of all things. It’s that dynamism that makes for an uplifting read. Most of the entries are nature-centric, but a few – like the titular poem – delve into the world of man.
It’s a brief collection, consisting of about seventy short-form poems.
With so many mopey poetry collections out there, it was a pleasure to read one that enlivens and energizes. I’d highly recommend it for poetry readers.

Prospero’s Limerick
There once was a bookish Duke from Milan
who, while distracted, was played for a pawn.
They thought him a twerp
his Dukedom was usurped…
Eventually, brains won out over brawn.

Customer Service Limerick
There once was a customer service rep
who spoke with a smile and great pep.
“That’s not my department,
but prepare for bombardment:
Your refund in twenty-six random steps.”
